BUILTIN\Administrators taking up too much Disk space in Disk Quota


hello experts.

we have configured k drive of our windows 2008 r2 file server in more 1000 users connected @ time.we have set default quota user should 400 mb .com-min question noticed that builtin\administrators consuming around 450 gb..i quite surprised see that.. 

domain admins part of buildin\administrator , have 5 domain admins..but domain admins individual disk quota less 40 gb..

is there missing find out why built in admin consuming 450 gb? 


senior system engineer.

hello all, today got answar through r & d.

i noticed builtin administrator consuming more space (450 gb) in file server.today found builtin administrator quota reduced 100 gb .

upon investigation found file server getting backup through veritas net backup , daily while running backup netbackup create vss copy keep on accumulating in "system volume information" folder in server (hidden folder,you cannot access it).inspite of shadow copy not enabled on server still veritas net backup takes vss , save under system volume information.but when reaches maximum storage of allocated vss quota automatically deletes oldest vss copy actualy happened me.

hope information helpful go in right direction.  :)
